The Hyundai Tucson for the 2022 model year is set to arrive in a few months. The upgraded model is packed with a slew of new features and two other variants joining the lineup: a hybrid model and an N-Line model. But with the redesign comes a higher starting price.
The compact SUV’s base SE trim will now start $1,250 higher than the previous year at $26,135. The price goes up to $38,000 for a fully-loaded version of the hybrid model. Official pricing for the plug-in hybrid version is yet to be released.
Following the SE trim is the SEL model, which starts at $27,685. The new-for-2022 N-Line variant, on the other hand, will sell at $31,785.
Sitting right above the the N-Line is the Limited trim. It has a retail price of $35,885.
Unlike N-Line models for the Elantra and Sonata, though, the Tucson edition is not offered with performance upgrades. Instead, Hyundai is giving it an appearance package,
All non-hybrid Tucson models will come equipped with a standard 2.5-liter inline-four engine that produces 187 horsepower and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. An all-wheel-drive will also be offered as an option for an extra $1,400 regardless of the trim level.
For the hybrid model, an all-wheel-drive is standard, along with a gas-electric drivetrain. It will be powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four gas engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The entry-level Blue model of the Tucson’s hybrid range starts significantly higher than the SE at $30,235, followed by the SEL hybrid at $32,835, and the Limited hybrid at $38,535.
Hyundai confirmed that production has begun for the 2022 Tucson at its facility in Alabama. It is expected to arrive at dealerships across the United States within the next few months.
